How to Make It

Step 1

Cut parchment paper into 8 (12- x 6-inch) rectangles. Beat butter with a heavy-duty stand mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes; add sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, and beat until combined.

Step 2

Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating on low speed until blended.
